My friend had mentioned that her father had a lot of children’s toys that he was looking to give away. She knew I had a three-year-old daughter so she thought of me first. I told her I would 36 it if I could get some nice things for my daughter, which I wouldn’t otherwise have been able
to 37 .
When I met her father, he began to explain that he was 38 once too and that he would hate to 39 things that could be very 40 . At first, he thought of taking everything to the Salvation Army but then he41 to see if anyone he knew could use them first.
When he was42 me around, I saw a bed, a slide(滑板)，a kitchen set and many other things that made me surprised. As my eyes were wide and beginning to tear up a bit, he told me not to feel guilty. He said I was43 him by getting rid of them.
As I was looking around, I did feel guilty, but I tried to remain more grateful than guilty because he told me to. Every time I tried to44 him for giving my daughter all these45 things, he would thank me right back and was grateful that these toys would be put to good use.
So, sometimes when we are helped by others, the others that helped us are helped as a side –effect. In the46 of charity , it makes sense to feel grateful, but guilt is just as normal, I know we could have lived without a slide, which is why I do feel guilty, but I am grateful all the same because my daughter47 enjoys all these nice things!

There once was a happy monkey in the jungle. He was wandering all days, eating delicious fruit when hungry and 36 when tired. One day he came upon a house, where he saw a bowl of the most beautiful 37. He took one in each hand and ran back into the forest.
The monkey tried to eat them, but hurt his teeth. The apples were made of wood, but they were beautiful, and when the other monkeys said that they 38 them, he held onto them even tighter.
The monkey admired his new possessions proudly as he wandered the jungle. The two apples glistened (闪亮) red in the 39, and seemed perfect to him. He became so attached to them that he didn’t even notice his 40 at first.
A fruit tree reminded him, but he felt the apples in his hands. He couldn’t bear to set them down to reach for the fruit. In fact, he couldn’t 41, either, if he was to defend his apples. This proud, but less happy monkey continued to walk along the forest trails (小路).
The apples became 42, and the poor little monkey thought about leaving them behind. He was tired and hungry; he couldn’t climb trees or collect fruit with his hands 43. What if he just let go (释放)?
Letting go of such 44 things seemed crazy, but what else could he do? He was so tired. Seeing the next fruit tree and smelling its fruit, the monkey stopped. He 45 the wooden apples and reached up for his meal. He was happy again.
Like that little monkey, we 46 carry things that seem too valuable. Letting go of them seems crazy. But 47: only with open hands can we receive something else.

Have you ever felt that you were just studying to pass a test? Today many 36 and companies around the world use standardized tests such as TOEFL to 37 students’ abilities. Thousands of people every year take these kinds of tests in order to enter or graduate from a school, or get a better job.
In many educational systems throughout the world, students take regular multiple-choice (多项选择的) achievement tests. They have to 38 these tests in order to move to a higher level, or graduate from an educational institution. Many supporters of this type of traditional evaluation believe that students learn best, and 39 their knowledge, by memorizing facts, and information.
Many 40 of this way of learning also believe that teaching students to pass a test means teaching them to do lots of exercises.
Educational reformers, however, believe that standardized tests are 41 and can only measure some of a student’s ability. They suggest that many students, though intelligent, are not 42 good at taking tests, or at memorization. This makes it harder for them to achieve passing grades, get into good schools, or get the right jobs. In addition factors such as how a person feels on the day of a test can also 43 his or her score. Using only a multiple-choice style of test to evaluate students’ abilities cannot always tell us 44 they have learned, or how they may do in the future.
To use standardized tests or not to --- the debate 45 . Meanwhile, many students’ futures are still decided based on their test results.
